DUTCHESS COUNTY, N.Y. - Nearly $1.75 million in grants have been awarded for a dozen county projects, Dutchess County Executive Marc Molinaro announced on Wednesday.

The grants, funded through the Municipal Innovation Grant Program, the projects range from a regional ambulance services study to the creation of a streamlined land use development process.

A total of $1 million was made available for this year’s grant program with the Dutchess County Legislature authorizing an additional $750,000 in funding last month, Molinaro said.

“Now in the fifth year of our Municipal Innovation Grant Program, we have awarded more than $6.3 million in funding for nearly 50 projects to eliminate duplicative services, share services among municipalities, and improve service delivery throughout Dutchess County to cut costs for taxpayers and streamline service delivery for our residents," he said.
